[QUOTE="X-man, post: 796161, member: 8416"] I don't see a flame war...just a discussion about what is reasonable. I don't like the 246 Win for 1000yd elk..Here is reasoning. To get a bullet that will perform at 1000 it is going to have to be a soft Berger VLD. Even then you end up with (rough numbers) 1500 fps and 750fpe....Pretty weak in my honest opinion...Especially when you consider how darn small that little bullet starts out. If the animal is broadside the bullet will do its work...sure. What if it turns a bit and you hit the shoulder bone square? What if you have to shoot again at the south end of an upset and wounded North bound bull? The Berger wont make it...period. Now what happens if you see that big bull at 50 yards with that fragile little bullet going mach 10? Bad things unless he is dead broadside. The 7WSM is a far better choice. [/QUOTE]
